ty last summer of Mr. Dawson. The
case will be appealed to the circuit
court, according to the Albany pa
pers. A committee is at work trying to
ar; ange for a fruit cannery for Cor
vallis and it seems probable that
such an enterprise may be launched
in this city. The committee has
visited the Brownsville and other
canneries to get an idea of the plants
and to inquire into the results that
follow the establishing of such an
entemrise in a jommunity. Their
. 1 . . .... ...
investigations have added to tneir
enthusiasm for a cannery for Cor
vallis. Land advanced in price
around Brownsville because the can-
narv nmilrl ii aa the fruit that hud
formerly been wasted, thus making
tha nrndnnta of the land more valu
able, and in many other ways the
. . m il . I
plant has proved proutaoie to tne
lopality. Corvallis needs such an
ARtahlishment to turn into money
the hundreds of bushels of fruit that
have annually gone to waste or been
sold at a low figure, yegetaoie gar
dening will become a profitable oo
cupation for ''small" farmers when
Corvallis has a cannery to take care
of the tomatoes, peas and otner
vegetables that are usually sold iu
